When it comes to weird news, out of all the states in the U-S-of-A, no one comes close to Florida. A lot of it has to do with the Government in the Sunshine Act, which makes all of the government’s doings open to the public. This means journalists have plenty source material to pull from whenever they need a story.
So it’s not that Florida has a larger assortment of weirdos than other states, per se, it’s just that their weirdos tend to get way more press. That being said, it doesn’t change the fact that there was a lot of weird stuff happening in the Sunshine State in the last 12 months. Here are some of the top Florida headlines from 2018.
